I’ve never had Debian or Arch completely break, but have had my share of annoying bugs with both of them. Biggest issue I kept having with Debian is it’d just get stuck and wouldn’t update. Think it was 12.4 I had this problem with. Way more annoying than anything Arch did to my system. I’m using Fedora now days.
Same issue as this person: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=156345. That’s not even mentioning the 12.3 debacle which I was thankfully spared of.
I have yet to climb Mt. Gentoo.
I just like them because my system feels “cleaner.” Always drove me nuts with Arch or Debian when you install something, let’s say it requires ~20 decencies, then you remove it later, run the respective dependency clean command, and it only removes lets say ~12 packages. Like where did those 8 dependencies go? Are they just stuck on my system forever? Atomic desktops don’t have this issue which I really appreciate.
You can turn off canvas fingerprinting or any added feature with a single checkbox. I used to feel the same way about LibreWolf, but once I familiarized myself with the different settings, it became clearly the superior option if you value privacy. I also set my Firefox settings strictly, but then they added new “features” and turned them on by default. That was the last straw for me.
A friend tried to watch that with me a few years ago. Wasn’t really my thing.
What show is this from?
I have selected Fedora. Where did I go wrong?
Hmmm alright I guess you laid out a pretty good argument. Even when I still used Windows I basically always ignored the system tray. I found it annoying and distracting. Didn’t even really notice it was gone when I started using Linux with GNOME.
What do you need a system tray for? It has a drop-down control center on the top-right. That mirrors most of the functionality from a system tray that I would need.
Debian for servers. Fedora for desktops. That’s my philosophy.
I like GNOME. It’s very consistent, has very few bugs, and stays out of my way when I just need to get shit done.
Flatpak seems quite nice now days
Better to avoid 3 k’s where possible.
Yeah because they refuse to work with the open source community lol. Don’t care how great their stuff is if they’re borderline openly hostile towards Linux.
Who in the Linux community would say anything positive about NVIDIA?
Mint is great for older PCs. If you have a newish computer, there’s better options.
